Sam Walker then saved from Gillingham's George Lapslie but the midfielder was instrumental in the visitors taking an 11th minute lead.
He linked with Timothee Dieng, who cut back for Jayden Clarke to score.
Gillingham almost grabbed a second when Halliday diverted Lapslie's low cross against his own post.

Bradford levelled when Neil Byrne headed home from Jamie Walker's corner in the 38th minute.
They then went in front from another set-piece on the stroke of half-time as Gillingham struggled to clear from Richie Smallwood's free-kick and Jack Shepherd thundered in a volley from the edge of the penalty area.
Gillingham goalkeeper Jake Turner had struggled on his return for the injured Glenn Morris.
But he made a good save to deny Andy Cook early in the second half and then spread himself to block a shot from Clarke Oduor.
